It's an interesting idea, but I don't think they'll do it before the holiday season.
I think they're banking on the hype of Titanfall being enough to boost X1 sales. If that doesn't work, they'll consider a price cut, or even more drastic measures like removing Kinect (which I don't think they want to do).
But it could work. There's a real positive buzz around Titanfall, and I think the market *really wants* a new IP that can replace COD, which might even help review scores.
A price cut this early is a risk, and they'll have to compensate early adopters to prevent another internet rage. And the X1 isn't selling that badly. In the US, sales are actually quite good. They have a problem in Europe and Titanfall seems to me to be a game that'll appeal more to US gamers anyway.
